the ‘Gram

This dear boy was at dry land practice tonight when a bug landed on his shirt. In his view it was a friend who had “chosen” him. But his swim coach (who, to be fair, was, I think, unaware of this budding imaginary friendship) swatted the bug off and smashed it with her foot.

There were tears. There were sobs that his swim coach is the most evil lady ever and his bug wasn’t hurting anything and deserved to live.

I had to bite my tongue in half not to say, “It was just a bug.” But I resisted. Because, while that’s true, I’ve cried over things just as small and they sure didn’t feel like “just a”. And it may have been an overreaction, but there was part of me that was proud of his outrage at the injustice.
Tomorrow we are going to do restitution to the bug community by leaving some honey outside for them to eat. That idea seemed to help him feel better.

Having kids is a ride, my friends. A wonderful, weird ride.

Not that there’s much room for doubt on the subject, but, still, let it be known that she dresses herself.

I’m only about 90% sure where I am, but it’s awful pretty here.

The first time we dropped K off for a Raintree slumber party, Blaine and I tried to go on a date. This was hilarious, because all we did all night—over our fancy salads and expensive drinks—was check our phones to make sure we weren’t getting a call from him. The next morning, we surprised the teachers at pickup by arriving half an hour early, and K was kinda pissed. He was having such a good time that he wanted to stay a few minutes longer.
Tonight will not be like that, but I still gotta post one picture of Miss B—soooo excited for her first Raintree slumber party—to at least mark the milestone.

Playin’ Lotties. 😍

Wild Bill Gecko got about 20 crickets this week, and is now hanging out under his heat lamp relishing in his gluttony. #wildbillgecko #crestedgecko

Happy, happy birthday to my very favorite human. All the much.

Sometimes we get fashion-y.
